Flurry Rogue Endgame Build Guide

If you are fresh in Torment 1 coming from a leveling guide, this is where you begin. Since only some Aspects can be guaranteed from Dungeon unlocks for the Codex of Power, focus on acquiring the additional aspects via gambling with Murmuring Obols.

Gear & Skills

• Early in your progression, focus on Armor & Resistances to survive. Each Torment difficulty adds a 250 Armor and 25% Resistance penalty and it's recommended to keep both capped (1000 Armor, 70%+ Resistances) at all times. As you unlock higher power gear, Masterworking levels, and more paragon points, you naturally scale your character into the higher difficulties and can start replacing some of these affixes with offensive or utility stats.
• Umbrous is an important survivability tool for many Rogue builds. If you haven't found it, use either Mot, Enshrouding, or Dark Shroud on your bar for extra defense.
• Obtain the Lucky Hit: Chance to Restore Primary Resource affix on your melee weapons to spam Flurry.
• Stolen Vigor, Encircling Blades, and Breakneck Bandit's are your main Offensive Aspects. The Starter Flurry Rogue setup shows the most optimal arrangement of these Aspects when they are max rank as they have different max values. As you change and improve your equipment, ensure the highest percentage Aspect is on your Ranged weapon and the second highest percentage Aspect is on your Amulet.
• Grasp of Shadow can be utilized if your Legendary Gloves are not in a good spot. Prioritize masterworking the +Marksman and Cutthroat Skill affix and remove Retribution from the build.
• Different variants use different weapon setups based on their needs. Review the Pros and Cons of Daggers and Swords in the FAQ & Mechanics section for more details. You socket Flawless Diamond gems into the sockets to boost No Witnesses.

The goal here is to progress through the Torment difficulties as you unlock Ancestrals, Paragon points, all Legendary Aspects, Temper mods and the most important Uniques to pilot this build. Some Legendary Aspects are used temporarily to fill slots that may be replaced with more Unique items later on.

Gear & Skills

• As you upgrade your gear to Ancestrals with more Masterworking levels and reach higher Paragon, you can focus more and more on replacing Armor & Resistance rolls with better stats, but ensure to stay capped at 1000 Armor and 70%+ Resistances for your current difficulty.
• Swap from Momentum to Close Quarters Combat as Close Damage tempers and glyph levels in Closer and Turf allow it to outscale Momentum.
• Cowl of the Nameless gives a large damage boost by improving two good passives, Trick Attacks and Unstable Elixirs. The unique effect also helps you maintain your Energy through Innervation.
• Grasp of Shadow can be utilized if your Legendary Gloves are not in a good spot. Prioritize masterworking the +Marksman and Cutthroat Skill affix and remove Retribution from the build.
• Barrier is capped at 100% of your Maximum Life so any points above 7 in Second Wind are wasted. Keep this in mind when Tempering and Masterworking as this may give you some extra skill points.

This setup optimizes the build to push the highest possible Tiers in The Pit after you have finished the Mythic variant and reached a plateau in your progression.

Gear & Skills

• Mired Sharpshooter's is swapped for Concussive Strikes to speed up stagger and give another multipler.
• Dash is changed to Puncture to activate Close Quarters Combat. Remember to cast it at least once every 8 seconds

This Speedfarming variant optimizes the build for easy activities like Helltides, Whispers, Nightmare Dungeons and lower Pit Tiers after you have finished the Mythic variant and reached a plateau in your progression.

Gear & Skills

• Improved Flurry moves you from enemy to enemy at extreme speeds while dealing damage to anything in your path.
• Swap from Disciplined Dash to Methodical Dash as you should not need the Knock Down in easier content. This gets you where you need to be even faster.

This is a specialized Mythic variant of the Flurry Rogue centered around Inner Sight and Scoundrel's Leathers. This is primarily a Speedfarming setup that automates most timed buffs and allows a near one-button playstyle.

Gear & Skills

• Scoundrel's Leathers and Inner Sight are required for this variant to function.
• Traps activated by Scoundrel's Leathers are based off your skill tree nodes. All traps spawn centered on an enemy target. There is an internal cooldown that limits you to about 1 Trap spawn every 0.75 seconds.
• Inner Sight has an internal cooldown of 4 seconds before another target can be marked after it ends.
• Poison Trap periodically Knocks Down enemies to grant you the second bonus for Malice.
• Caltrops provides a damage boost from Enhanced Caltrops. Methodical Caltrops adds Chill to the skill, enabling Frigid Finesse. Caltrops must be on your skill bar to be spawned by Scoundrel's Leathers.
• Death Trap groups up nearby enemies.
• You should aim for a 10 second duration for Inner Sight at a minimum through Inner Sight Duration tempers and the affix on Scoundrel's Leathers.

Skill Rotation

1. Activate Shadow Clone.
2. Repeatedly cast Flurry to teleport from enemy to enemy and spawning all of your Traps.
3. Use Dash and Shadow Step for increased mobility and to activate the Fluidity bonus.
4. (On Elites & Bosses) Throw Smoke Grenade for a 25% damage buff.
5. (On Bosses) Start with Caltrops and keep them inside the area to maintain the Enhanced Caltrops debuff.

Mythic Gear Swaps

• Heir of Perdition can be replaced with Cowl of the Nameless. Ranks to Trick Attacks and Unstable Elixirs are the most important affixes and prioritize the former for Masterwork Crits ↑.
• Ring of Starless Skies can be replaced with a Legendary Ring using Retribution, Attack Speed, Maximum Life, Dexterity, Damage per Dark Shroud Temper, and Shadow Clone Cooldown Reduction Temper if needed.

This variant of the Flurry Rogue focuses on making Flurry Overpower with every cast by using Banished Lord's Talisman. This setup has steep gear requirements outlined below.

Gear & Skills

• Banished Lord's Talisman, Beastfall Boots, and Harlequin Crest are required to meet thresholds outlined below.
• This setup requires 275 or more Max Energy. Since Momentum increases your Max Energy by 30%, this means you need 212 Max Energy out of combat. This ensures each time you cast Death Trap to activate Beastfall Boots then use Flurry, you have spent the required Energy for your next Flurry to Overpower thanks to Banished Lord's Talisman. This is achieved through Max Energy/Resource affixes on Harlequin Crest, Beastfall Boots, then either Elixir of Resourcefulness II or Tibault's Will. Galvanized Slasher's is also a great option for more Max Energy.
• The cooldown required for Death Trap depends on your Max Energy when Momentum is fully stacked. At less than 300 Max Energy, a cooldown of 15 seconds is required. However if you can get up to 300 Max Energy, the cooldown requirement changes to 20 seconds as you will now get 4 Preparation activations. This is achieved through a combination of additional ranks, Cooldown Reduction on Harlequin Crest, Ultimate Cooldown Reduction on Beastfall Boots and Death Trap Cooldown Reduction from Ring Tempers.
• The Beastfall Boots Unique Affix, Aftermath, and Lucky Hit: Chance to Restore Primary Resource all aid in restoring enough Energy to consistently Overpower with each cast of Flurry. All of this Energy restoration is increased by your Resource Generaton stat.
• Zan + Qax increases your damage every third rotation as you spam Death Trap.
• Poc + Xal buffs Overpower damage through increasing your Maximum Life.

Skill Rotation

1. Cast Caltrops to start ramping the damage boost from Enhanced Caltrops.
2. Activate Cold Imbuement for the damage boost from Mixed Cold Imbuement.
3. Throw Smoke Grenade periodically for a damage boost.
4. Cast Death Trap to activate Beastfall Boots damage buff while restoring Energy through Aftermath.
5. Activate Concealment. This guarantees a Critical Strike on Flurry from Subverting Concealment.
6. Cast Flurry to hit with a guaranteed Critical Strike and Overpower.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 until enemies are dead. It is important not to cast Smoke Grenade or Caltrops immediately after Death Trap or Concealment. They consume the guaranteed Critical Strike from Subverting Concealment.

Witchcraft Powers

Occult Gems

• Witching Hour - Adds the Eldritch tag to Flurry and allows it to benefit from some Witchcraft Powers
• Dust Stone - Gives extra damage for each Aura and Hex
• Phantom String - You only deal Overpower damage and this is a great way to boost it.

Mythic Gear Swaps

• Shroud of False Death can be replaced with a Legendary Chest using Frostbitten, + Ranks to Dark Shroud or Subterfuge Skills, Maximum Life, and Armor or Resistance to All Elements as needed to meet your caps.
• Doombringer can be replaced with a Legendary Sword using Conceited, Dexterity, Maximum Life, Overpower Damage, Chance for Caltrops to Consume No Charges Temper, and Cutthroat Attack Speed Temper.
• Ring of Starless Skies can be replaced with a Legendary Ring using Conceited (or Galvanized Slasher's if you need more Max Energy), Attack Speed, Maximum Life, Dexterity, Cutthroat Attack Speed Temper, and Death Trap Cooldown Reduction if needed.
